Although native to Africa, perch is a common freshwater fish now found in lakes and rivers throughout North America. Perch are carnivorous and in the wild can grow to massive sizes of 300 lbs. and 6 feet in length. Perch sold in stores, though, tend to be much smaller -- about 6 to 14 lbs. Whether cutting it up for steaks or fillets, perch is great for cooking on a grill.
